1. InDesign Cannot Set Actual Text (Accessibility)

   InDesign Cannot Set Actual Text

   InDesign has no way of setting actual text. This can only be done in PDF. Actual text is set when acronyms are used. Access technologies such as screen readers cannot properly read acronyms such as USA. They voice them as words, like "Youusah." Actual text has to be set for the document to be read correctly. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation, a highly specialized skillset that is typically outside the role of the average Graphic Designer. Currently, the process for setting actual text in Acrobat is as follows: Find the acronym in the Tags tree. Open the Accessibility tool and choose Reading Order. Drag a marquee over the acronym and tag it as what it is – paragraph/text or a heading level. The Tags tree will collapse. Open the Tags tree again to find the new acronym Tag. Right click on the new acronym Tag and choose “Properties”. Type the acronym with spaces between each letter in the Actual Text field, for example “U S A.” Spaces will cause the acronym to be read correctly. This issue affects EVERY SINGLE InDesign user who is required to make accessible content. Please make setting actual text an option within InDesign so painstaking remediation is not required.

2. Make share button neutral

   The new SHARE button is very blue. In Photoshop we have the option to make it interface colored. Same in Illustrator. InDesign dosen't.

3. Request of to Index "Index entry", "page reference" and "Yomi" CSV export Feature.（【要望】索引の「項目」「ページ番号」「読み」のCSV書き出し）

   I hope to Index "Index entry", "page reference" and "Yomi" CSV export Feature.
   Currently, the Japanese version does not sort as expected and the indexing function is difficult to use.
   It would also reduce the difficulty of indexing in multi-person operations.

   索引の「項目」「ページ番号」「読み」をCSVで書き出せるようにして欲しい。
   現状、日本語版はソートが期待通りいかず、索引機能が使いづらいものとなっている。
   また、複数人の作業における索引作成の困難も軽減してくれると思われる。

4. Adding a Table tab to the Find/Change dialogue box

   It will be very useful adding to the Find/Change dialog box a new tab for controlling the table and cell by the all options and settings available.

5. Make the CC Library popup notes legible

   Using CC Libraries in InDesign 2022, 2023+ has been very helpful. However, I find that the notes added to the object are illegible. Doesn't matter what color I make the interface or which monitor or monitor resolution I set, when I hoover my mouse over the library object the pop out note text is a light grey on a grey background and difficult to read.

   Can we had some user level adjustment so those library items can be zoomed or to change them so the text is black with a white background while we are hovering over them?

   Thank you.

6. Reinstate the Publish Online button in the top bar please!

   This shortcut button to the Publish Online function was one of my most frequently used, and for some strange reason, in the latest version 18.5, it has been removed.
   I can't see any reason why it can't remain where it was, very conveniently situated in the top bar beside the Share button.
   The new option slows down what was one of my most frequently used functions... I do hope this isn't just 'change for change's sake'??
   Anyone else find this change unecessary and annoying?

7. Add Nepali to language list

   Can you add Nepali to the list of available languages in the Character dropdown? There are language-specific OT features that aren't supported without selecting the language, and it seems like a bit of an unnecessary workaround to mark text as Hindi in order to get correct display of glyphs for Nepali.

8. Favourite font groups

   I'd like to be able to save some of my commonly used fonts into groups or themes of my choosing, such as calligraphic, infographic, corporate, Christmas etc.

   I realise InDesign (and other Adobe apps) already offer favourites and filters but the favourites list can get rather long and the filters don't always capture the fonts I'm actually trying to find, especially with non Adobe fonts. For example, I have a font called 'Beauty Night Script' installed and it doesn't show up in either the script, handwritten or decorative font filters.

   I think this feature could be quite useful for people trying to keep track of a lot of favourites, or who create themed artwork once it a while.

10. Adobe Fonts for Indesign Server

    We have the fact that it is important for us that we have the same possibilities for processing with the Indesign Server as with the desktop. For this, it is essential that we can also retrieve and thus process the Adobe fonts via the Indesign server.
    In the context of the shortage of skilled workers and the move towards automation, such processing is essential for us. The license for the fonts is already paid via the users who do the design and also via the server license, which is considerably more expensive than that of a desktop station.

11. Easy drag and drop to base one text style on another

    I would love for an easy drag and drop to base one text style on another in the paragraph and character style palettes. The idea is to drag a paragraph style (para) that you want to base on and drop onto another style (parafirst or paralast). I work on book designs with lots and lots of style tags. It will save designers so much time to do it all in the palettes instead of opening up each style and scroll through the style list every time.

    In addition, similar to how we apply parent/master pages to pages, it’d be amazing if we could do the same in the text style menus. Highlight a bunch of paragraph styles and click on a drop down menu with the option to apply a base style to them.

12. Buttons and forms (Interactive) panel needs revamping

    The panel is barely usable in it's current form for anything more than a few buttons per page due to not being able to increase the height and width of the panel, especially the visibility section when a button is highlighted. At the bare minimum this needs to be resizable so that more can be seen so that linking and adjusting the on/off states of buttons can be performed more easily.

    Ideally, the panel needs an overhaul so that multiple buttons can be shift+selected so that they can be set to be called before being visible by default, or switched on or off as needed. It'd would be greate if additional flag settings could be applied to a button so that we can filter/sort the view of the interactive elements on a page from within the panel itself.

    Best case scenario would be an entirely revamped digital/interactive workflow suited to this decade, pulling in what you've learned from XD and everything else so that we can more easily generate engaging digital output from our production run content!

14. Page cycle for PDF imports

    1. When I import a PDF into InDesign I'd like to see arrows alongside the circular content grabber to cycle to the next page of the PDF rather than re-importing the same PDF and selecting the correct page in the options dialog box
    2. Saves time, less work to import different pages from the same file already imported

16. Add scrolling feature to Publish Online

    I create decks for brands and companies, and we often need to use interactive elements like videos and gifs — so we need to publish them online.

    Because of smartphones, the design of most websites now, and the way people read PDFs in 'Reader', people expect to be able to scroll rather than clicking left and right.

    I'm having a lot of requests now to create documents in non-adobe programmes, like Readymag — purely because they offer scrolling.

    My contemporaries are having the same.

    I hope this would be a small fix for Adobe, because it would make a huuuuge difference.

17. Include page count in XMP

    The XMP metadata included in an InDesign file does not include the page count. This makes it difficult for thrid party solutions such as digital asset management systems not running InDesign or InDesign Server to display the page count to their users for InDesign files.

    There is a standardized XMP element called xmpTPg:NPages which is supposed to contain the page count for multi-page documetns. https://developer.adobe.com/xmp/docs/XMPNamespaces/xmpTPg/ This should be included in the XMP by InDesign.

18. Better Relinking to CC Libraries

    I'd love to see some much needed quality of life/functionality improvements to CC Libraries in InDesign when relinking:

    • Ability to Search when relinking

    • Ability to see/sort by groups when relinking

    • Ability to change view (thumbnail/list) when relinking to CC Libraries

    • Infact, anything more than the current 'Relink to CC Librarires' functionality, which is literally just a list of every single asset in that library sorted by name

    We have thousands of assets in some of our libraries, which are all nicely sorted by group. But this is useless when this is completely ignored by the CC Libraries panel.

19. Ability to scroll pages behind export windows

    When dealing with longer documents, it would be nice to be able to scroll either the pages in the background or (even better) the pages window/tab to look at a range (e.g. when a document is at the end or if there are filler pages that don't need exporting/checking at this stage). People have been requesting this for years.

20. Pop window note

    I work within teams that open and close ID files. The existing noting and share for review is just too slow and complex for the majority of the work we do. It would be absolutely amazing if you could save a simple twitter style small note when saving. So when the next person that opens the file can read it as soon as it pops up on open and can either choose to keep it / ignore or dismiss the note. Which will get rid of it. And you can only save one note to the saved file which will open. This would be extremely small and useful tool if you work in fast paced and teams that are in a chain.
